in this eighty-first episode of ventriloquy, i consider the relevance of Jay Lemke's thoughts on media, literacies and learning, in a time when we are now able to make books from blogs with a single click.
i briefly consider the implications of this new spin on desktop, and hyperlocal, publishing - in terms of the design and crafting of learning tasks - in this 3.5 MB download. what might such developments mean to the look-and-feel of books as we know them today? what would a book having its origins from a MySpace blog look like?
it would probably look a lot different from a stuffy academic tome, for sure - say, a stuffy academic tome such as that arising from a doctoral thesis on adolescent spatial cognition.
